A jacking and reversing mechanism is fixedly installed on both sides of the car body along the second direction. The jacking and reversing mechanism is connected to the second walking mechanism to drive the second walking mechanism to lift and lower. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other. The second walking mechanism can perform lifting and lowering movements under the action of the jacking and reversing mechanism. When the second walking mechanism descends to the point where the second walking mechanism is in working condition, the entire four-way cargo handling device can realize the transfer between adjacent aisles through the second walking mechanism.

[0040] like Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the vehicle body includes two inverted U-shaped plates 3, and a connecting plate 4 is provided between the top and bottom ends of the two inverted U-shaped plates 3. The connecting plate 4 connects the two inverted U-shaped plates into a whole, forming an integral vehicle body structure. A accommodating cavity that matches the cargo platform 1 and is used to accommodate the cargo platform is formed in the vehicle body.

[0041] A lifting belt mechanism is provided at the four corners of the top of the vehicle body. Specifically, multiple mounting plates are provided between the top ends of the two inverted U-shaped plates 3. The lifting belt mechanism is installed on the mounting plates. The lifting belt mechanism includes a lifting drive motor. The lifting drive motor is fixed on the mounting plates. The output shaft of the lifting drive motor is connected to a winch wheel. A lifting belt 5 is wound around the winch wheel. The lifting belt 5 extends downward after passing around the guide wheel. Its movable end is connected to the cargo platform 1, wherein the guide wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the vehicle body.

[0042] The lifting drive motor can drive the winch wheel to rotate, thereby driving the cargo platform 1 to perform lifting movement through the lifting belt 5. The cargo platform 1 can be raised to the inside of the accommodating cavity, so that the cargo platform can be accommodated inside the mother vehicle, and the loading plane of the cargo platform 1 is not lower than the upper surface of the walking track on the shelf that cooperates with the first walking mechanism, so that the overall height space occupied by the four-way cargo handling device is smaller, realizing the picking and placing of goods at the cargo space on the shelf layer where the mother vehicle is located, and improving the utilization rate of the shelf cargo space.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of the four-way cargo handling devices can be arranged at different heights of the shelf aisles to improve the cargo transfer efficiency.

[0044] The bottom ends of the two oppositely arranged side portions of the mother vehicle are provided with a first walking mechanism, that is, the first walking mechanism is provided on both sides along the first direction, and the bottom ends of the other two oppositely arranged side portions are provided with a second walking mechanism, that is, the second walking mechanism is provided on both sides along the second direction.

The lifting plate 6 is slidably connected to the vehicle body and can perform lifting and lowering movements. The lifting plate 6 is connected to a lifting and reversing mechanism installed at the bottom end of the vehicle body, and the lifting and reversing mechanism can drive the lifting plate to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0046] In this embodiment, the structures of the first traveling mechanisms on both sides of the vehicle body are the same. The first traveling mechanisms include multiple first traveling wheels 7. The multiple first traveling wheels 7 are distributed along the first direction. The multiple first traveling wheels 7 are connected by a traveling transmission mechanism and can rotate synchronously under the drive of the traveling transmission mechanism.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first traveling mechanism is provided with two first traveling wheels 7 , and along the traveling direction of the first traveling mechanism, the two first traveling wheels are respectively provided at two ends of the bottom of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 .

[0048] In one embodiment, the two first running wheels are both connected to a running drive mechanism and are driven to rotate by the running drive mechanism, that is, the multiple first running wheels are powered by different running drive mechanisms.

[0049] In this embodiment, the two first traveling wheels 7 are connected via a traveling transmission mechanism to achieve synchronous rotation. The traveling transmission mechanism adopts a belt transmission mechanism or a chain transmission mechanism, and preferably, a belt transmission mechanism is adopted.

[0050] Specifically, the two first walking wheels 7 are connected to the wheel axle, and the wheel axle is rotatably connected to the inverted U-shaped plate 3. A driven pulley 8 is provided on the wheel axle. The two outer corners of the top of the inverted U-shaped plate are rotatably connected to the driven pulley 9, and the two inner corners are rotatably connected to the reversing pulley. A walking drive mechanism is provided on the mounting plate on the top of the vehicle body. In this embodiment, the walking drive mechanism adopts a walking drive motor 10 or other equipment that can output rotational motion. The output shaft of the walking drive motor 10 is connected to the active pulley through a reducer, and the transmission belt passes through the active pulley, the driven pulley 9 at one of the outer corners, the driven pulley 8 connected to the first walking wheel 7, the reversing pulley at the inner corner of one side, the driven pulley 8 connected to the other first walking wheel 7, and the driven pulley 9 at the other outer corner to form a closed loop. The walking drive motor 10 drives the active pulley to rotate, thereby utilizing the transmission belt to drive the driven pulley 8 connected to the first walking wheel 7 to rotate, and then drives the first walking wheel 7 to rotate.

[0051] The structures of the first traveling mechanism and the traveling transmission mechanism on the other side of the vehicle body are the same and will not be described again here.

[0052] Furthermore, the travel transmission mechanisms of the two first travel mechanisms are connected via at least one synchronization shaft 11 to achieve synchronous movement of the travel transmission mechanisms on both sides, thereby allowing the first travel mechanisms on both sides of the vehicle body to use only one travel drive mechanism.

[0053] In this embodiment, in the two traveling transmission mechanisms, the driven pulleys 9 located at the outer corners on the same side of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 are connected through a synchronization shaft 11 to achieve power transmission between the two traveling transmission mechanisms.

[0054] In another embodiment, the travel drive motor 10 may also be connected to the synchronous shaft 11 via a gear transmission mechanism, a belt transmission mechanism, a chain transmission mechanism, or other transmission methods to drive the travel transmission mechanisms on both sides to work synchronously.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lifting plate 6 is connected to the lifting and reversing mechanism of the connecting plate installed at the lower part between the two inverted U-shaped plates.

[0056] Furthermore, the lifting plate 6 is slidably connected to the lower part of the vehicle body through a guide device. The guide device includes a slider 12 and a guide rail 13. The slider 12 is fixed on the lifting plate 6. The slider 12 is slidably connected to the guide rail 13 fixed on the connecting plate 4, thereby realizing a sliding connection between the lifting plate 6 and the vehicle body, and the lifting plate 6 can perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0057] It is understandable that the guide device may also be a rolling guide device or a guide column guide device, etc. Those skilled in the art may configure it according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In this embodiment, the jacking and reversing mechanism adopts a screw lifting mechanism, including a motor fixed on the connecting plate, the output shaft of the motor is connected to one end of the screw 15 through a belt transmission mechanism 14, the other end of the screw 15 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat fixed on the connecting plate 4, and a screw slider 16 is threadedly connected to the screw 15, and the screw slider 16 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 6 to drive the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting plate 6.

[0059] The second traveling mechanism further includes a plurality of second traveling wheels 17 , wherein one of the second traveling wheels 17 is a driving traveling wheel, and the remaining second traveling wheels 17 are driven traveling wheels.

[0060] The second traveling wheel 17 serving as the active traveling wheel is connected to the output end of the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism, and the input end of the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism is connected to the first traveling mechanism through a reversing mechanism. In this embodiment, the input end of the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism is connected to the axle of the corresponding first traveling wheel 7 through a reversing mechanism.

[0061] In this embodiment, the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism adopts a belt transmission mechanism or a chain transmission mechanism, and preferably adopts a belt transmission mechanism. Specifically, the second walking wheel 17 is connected to the wheel axle, the wheel axle is rotatably connected to the lifting plate, and the wheel axle is connected to a driven pulley. Two driven pulleys 18 rotatably connected to the connecting plate 4 are provided above the driven pulley, and a driving pulley 19 connected to the reversing mechanism is provided on the outside. A transmission belt is wound around the driven pulley and the driving pulley 19. A tensioning pulley 20 is also rotatably connected to the lifting plate 6, and the tensioning pulley 20 is in contact with the transmission belt, so that the driven pulley connected to the second walking wheel 17 can always keep the transmission belt in a tensioned state during the lifting process, thereby smoothly realizing the transmission of power.

[0062] In this embodiment, the reversing mechanism adopts a bevel gear transmission box 21 installed at the bottom end of the inverted U-shaped plate or the connecting plate, whose input shaft and output shaft are at a 90° angle. The axle of the first walking wheel 7 serves as the input shaft of the bevel gear transmission box 21, and the axle of the driving pulley 19 of the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism serves as the output shaft of the bevel gear transmission box 21, thereby realizing the transmission of power from the first walking wheel 7 to the second walking wheel 17.

[0063] The arrangement of the lifting plate 6, the lifting mechanism, the second traveling mechanism, the closed-loop flexible transmission mechanism and the reversing mechanism on the other side of the vehicle body is exactly the same and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In this embodiment, the rotation of all the first traveling wheels 7 and the second traveling wheels 17 can be achieved by setting up a traveling drive motor 10. The second traveling wheels 17 do not need to be equipped with additional special power equipment, thereby reducing the equipment investment of the entire mother vehicle.

[0065] The cargo platform 1 is provided with a cargo pick-up and placement mechanism 2, which adopts a telescopic cargo pick-up and placement mechanism, including a two-way telescopic mechanism installed on both sides of the cargo platform, the two-way telescopic mechanism including a fork, and a rotary drive member provided at the end of the fork. The rotary drive member adopts a servo or other device capable of outputting rotational motion, and the rotary drive member is connected to the fork to drive the fork to swing in a plane perpendicular to the fork. The structure and connection method of the above-mentioned two-way telescopic mechanism and the fork, fork and rotary drive member can adopt the telescopic mechanism, fork, rotary drive member and fork structure and connection method disclosed in patent application CN117585346A, and its further technical details are not described in detail here.

[0066] In another embodiment, the bidirectional telescopic mechanisms on either side of the cargo platform are connected to clamping plates, which are used for loading and unloading cargo. In this embodiment, the bidirectional telescopic mechanisms on either side of the cargo platform are connected to telescopic components mounted on the cargo platform. The telescopic components extend perpendicularly to the bidirectional telescopic mechanisms, driving the two clamping plates toward or away from each other. The telescopic components can be implemented using pneumatic cylinders, linear motors, or screw transmission mechanisms, which are not described in detail here.

[0067] In the third embodiment, the cargo picking and placing mechanism adopts a telescopic cargo picking and placing mechanism, including a two-way telescopic mechanism installed in the middle or on both sides of the cargo platform, the telescopic mechanism is connected to the suction cup assembly or the hook assembly, and the suction cup assembly or the hook assembly is used to pick up and place cargo.

[0068] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the cargo platform when picking up and placing goods, at least two pushing plates 22 are provided on both side edges of the cargo platform parallel to the walking direction of the first walking mechanism. The two pushing plates 22 are respectively arranged at both ends of the edge of the cargo platform 1. The pushing plates 22 are connected to the telescopic mechanism. The telescopic mechanism adopts a gear rack telescopic mechanism or a linear motor or a cylinder and other equipment that can output linear motion. The telescopic mechanism can drive the pushing plate to extend so that the pushing plate abuts against the shelf, thereby ensuring the stability of the cargo platform when picking up and placing goods.

[0069] The four-way cargo handling device of this embodiment, when in use, Figure 9 As shown, running tracks for cooperating with the first running mechanism are provided on the shelves 23 on both sides of the lanes, lane-changing tracks 24 connected to the running tracks are provided between adjacent lanes, and connecting passages connecting two adjacent lanes are provided on the shelves.

[0070] When picking up and placing goods on the shelves on both sides of an aisle, the mother vehicle travels along the corresponding walking track through the first walking mechanism, and the lifting belt mechanism drives the cargo platform 1 to rise and fall, so that the cargo platform 1 moves to the target cargo position of the shelf 23, and then picks up and places goods. When it is necessary to change aisles, the mother vehicle moves along the walking track to the nearest aisle change track 24, and the lifting mechanism drives the lifting plate 6 to descend, the second walking wheel 17 cooperates with the aisle change track 24, and the first walking wheel 7 leaves the walking track. At this time, the second walking mechanism can be used to change aisles.

[0071] By using the cargo handling device of this embodiment, the mother vehicle can change lanes by moving to the lane change track closest to its current position, without having to move to the lane change track at the end of the walking track, thereby improving the work efficiency of lane change. At the same time, the lane change track can be set inside the shelf without taking up additional space, reducing the volume of the entire storage system.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] This embodiment provides a four-way cargo handling device. Compared with the embodiment 1, the only difference is that the lifting mechanism adopts a cam lifting mechanism. Specifically, Figure 10-12 As shown, a motor 25 is installed on the connecting plate 4, and the motor 25 is connected to the reducer 26. The output shaft of the reducer 26 is connected to one end of the swing arm 27, and the other end of the swing arm 27 is connected to a driving member. The driving member adopts a bearing 28, and the bearing 28 is embedded in the rectangular hole 29 set in the lifting plate 6, and the bearing is in contact with the hole surface of the rectangular hole.

[0074] The motor drives the swing arm to swing through the reducer, thereby driving the lifting plate to move up and down through the bearing and the rectangular hole.

[0075] The rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0076] Although the above description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention is combined with the accompanying drawings, it does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Technical personnel in the relevant field should understand that on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by technical personnel in this field without creative work are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
